NBC Sports golf analyst Johnny Miller appeared on ESPN 1000 in Chicago to talk about the last few months of Tiger's life.  Thanks to Sports Radio Interviews, here is some of what he said.

How is the PGA fairing without Tiger Woods?

"What’s interesting is just knowing or not knowing really puts a cloud over it. If he was playing in three weeks that would keep a little bit of a buzz going on. (Editor’s note: Johnny Miller’s phone drops out for a minute) Well I mean it’s struggling there is no doubt about that. The economy is tough, Tiger being gone it’s sort of a one, two punch. Phil’s not playing too red hot, Vijay is not doing much, Duval is coming on the scene which is a little bit interesting, and Els is not playing that great so really the big names, even Camilo Villegas and guys like that, they are just not doing much yet. There are a lot of new guys, guys like Dustin Johnson, who of course won the AT&T last week, are looking good, but I don’t think the average golf fan has quite embraced him yet so we need some of the top guns to play well and then we need Tiger to make an announcement that he will come back and play at the Bay Hill, Arnold Palmer’s Tournament or whatever. Play the players and of course play the Masters that would be really good, a shot in the arm for the tour."

Do you think Tiger will arrange his schedule like the way you just suggested?

"I can’t imagine him not playing where he lives. He’s in Orlando and you can only twiddle your thumbs so long before you get itchy and for him not playing has got to be as bad almost as the situation he put himself in. It is sort of a double whammy for Tiger with all the problems he is having with his personal life and marriage and not being able to play and get into that part of his life which he is able to isolate himself and be so successful. It’s a tough time for Tiger, I think he has got to face the music eventually so he might as well tell the people ‘hey I’m working on my game right now I’m going to be at the Bay Hill Classic, I’ll play Doral, I’ll play the Masters, I’ll play the Players.’ It would be nice if he told the game of golf I am back and here is where I’m going to play and it’s going to be fun to at least anticipate how he will play after this long layoff."
